Hi, I'm Ferris Mariotti and welcome to the Icahn School of You. We're excited that you're thinking of joining our community here at Mount Sinai. Let me show you around, starting with where you may be living over the next four years or so. Come on in. 

This is the Jane B. Aron residence hall. Aron Hall is located about a block away from the school and the Mount Sinai Hospital, which is beyond convenient. Rent is affordable and includes free wifi and Ethernet connections. You'll have access to the laundry room, two gyms, a fitness studio, an outdoor patio, basketball courts, dedicated study areas, and the whole student lounge. Speaking of, let's head up the block to the newly renovated student center and lounge in Annenberg. Mariely, take it away. 

Oh hey. I'm Mariely Garcia, and as my friend and colleague, Ferris, mentioned, you are now in the Patricia and Robert Levinson Student Center, or as we like to call it, the Student Lounge. The Student Lounge is where you'll find many of your future classmates getting in some much needed "me" time during the day when they can. Innovative, fresh and state of the art, the Student Lounge is designed for both work and play. The space is located in the main campus of the school where much of your classroom training will happen. In fact, let's go upstairs to explore more of your training areas. My friend Evan will meet you up there. 

Hey there. I'm Evan Garden, and I'm here to talk to you about the learning environments that you'll encounter at Mount Sinai beginning with the Morchand Center. The Morchand Center is where we learn how to communicate with our future patients and, through thoughtful and attentive interactions, discover the value of humanistic care. We are able to simulate what goes on in exam rooms during a doctor-patient encounter using specially trained actors who mimic the signs and symptoms of an illness. We receive immediate feedback in our observation theater, where we can review our encounter and learn how to improve. Of course, this is just a sliver of our training, which we receive in our labs, small group rooms, and lecture halls, and when we need time to absorb it all, the Levy Library. All of this, of course, ties back to our School's mission that is helping us become physicians and scientists, advocates and activists that are capable of promoting change. You can talk to my friend Stephanie down the hall to learn more about that. 

Thanks, Evan. I'm Stephanie Wu, and let's talk about change. Equity and inclusion is of monumental importance to the Mount Sinai community. And I'm sure that it's also important to who you are as a future change maker. At the School, you'll have the opportunity to participate in formal and auxiliary trainings about creating equitable environments, becoming advocates in health care, protecting the health and human rights of the underserved, and more. This gallery wall, for instance, is part of the School's racism and bias initiative, our focus project to eradicate racism and bias in medical education and healthcare through change management, and is one of the many ways we engage in conversations and actions that spark change. Back to you, Ferris. 

And there you have it. Apart from the Center for Advanced Medicine, the Icahn Medical Institute, and the Leon and Norma Hess Center, where students receive much of their clinical and research experience, this is the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, located just a block away from Central Park in New York City, in one of the most unique and diverse places where you can live and learn. This is our school. We hope you can call it yours too.
